    "content": " Hon Speaker, I want to seek your guidance because yesterday we had the Supplementary Budget. As a House, we adopted the Report of the Parliamentary Committee on Broadcasting and Library on the Formulation of Parliamentary Broadcasting Channel last year, but I did not see it reflecting in the budget. We really need to implement this so that Parliament can tell its own story. The story of Parliament is being told by bloggers and the mainstream media, and they choose what to air and what not to air. The work we do in our committees has never been told, yet there is a lot that we do during our committee meetings. We had passed that Report and adopted it, but it seems that Parliament is not ready to implement it. There is a social media platform that Parliament is doing called ‘The Lawmaker’ by Hiram Omondi and Macharia. I urge the Members of Parliament to contact them so that our stories can be told by us rather than waiting for them to tell our stories. Hon. Speaker, I wanted your guidance on when this Report will be implemented and how we will have our broadcasting channel rather than depending on the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC), yet we do not even have an employee or staff of Parliament there. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
